Need help with mouse.Target bug involving two scripts

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I’m making a farming game and im trying to get the plot selection script to not interfere with
    the highlighter script.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    The issue is when after unequipping the seeds, when you equip the shovel
    the plot selection script is still active and executes with the shovel script at the same time.

Here’s a video to gain a better understanding:

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried to make sure the mouse.targetfilter would be applied to the plots only when the shovel is equipped but that only made the shovel’s script break upon testing.
    This particular issue is kind of too exclusive as I can’t find other posts of people having the same issue as I am.

Here’s the code for both scripts:

--- Plot Highlighter Script
local shovel = script.Parent
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local PlacePlot = ReplicatedStorage.PlacePlot
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()


shovel.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local plot = ReplicatedStorage.Plot_placeholder:Clone()
	plot.Parent = workspace
	local posLimit = math.clamp(-5,-4,-3.5)
	plot.Position = Vector3.new(mouse.Hit.X, posLimit, mouse.Hit.Z)
	
	mouse.TargetFilter = plot



	plot.Material = Enum.Material.Mud
	plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
	plot.Transparency = 0.5
	plot.CanCollide = false

	if player:DistanceFromCharacter(mouse.Hit.Position) > 40 then
		plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	elseif player:DistanceFromCharacter(mouse.Hit.Position) <= 40 then
		plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
	end
	
	if mouse.Target == workspace.Map_1.Base then
		plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Lime green')
	else 
		plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Really red')
	end
	
	
	
	mouse.Move:Connect(function()
		

		plot.Position = Vector3.new(mouse.Hit.X, posLimit, mouse.Hit.Z ) 
		if player:DistanceFromCharacter(mouse.Hit.Position) > 20 then
			plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Really red')
		elseif player:DistanceFromCharacter(mouse.Hit.Position) <= 20 then
			plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
		end
	
		if mouse.Target == workspace.Map_1.Base then
			plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Lime green')
		else 
			plot.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Really red')
		end
		
		
		
	end)
end)
shovel.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	local plot = ReplicatedStorage.Plot_placeholder:Clone()
	if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Plot_placeholder") then
		game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Plot_placeholder"):Destroy()
	end


end)

shovel.Activated:Connect(function()
	if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Plot_placeholder") then
		local placeholder = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Plot_placeholder")
		if placeholder then
			if placeholder.BrickColor == BrickColor.new('Lime green') then
				PlacePlot:FireServer(placeholder.Position)
			else
				return
			end
			
		
		end
		
	end
end)

--- Plot Selection Script
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local carrotseeds = script.Parent
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()

carrotseeds.Equipped:Connect(function()
	
	if mouse.TargetFilter ~= nil then
		mouse.TargetFilter = nil
	end
	
	mouse.Move:Connect(function()
		local target = mouse.Target
		

		if target and target.Name == "Plot" then
			target.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
		elseif target and target.Name ~= "Plot" then
			for i, v in pairs(workspace.Plots:GetChildren())do
				v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
			end
		end
		
		
	end)
	mouse.Idle:Connect(function()
		local target = mouse.Target
		
		if target and target.Name == "Plot" then
			target.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
		elseif target and target.Name ~= "Plot" then
			for i, v in pairs(workspace.Plots:GetChildren())do
				v.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
			end
		end
		
	end)	
end)
carrotseeds.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if mouse.TargetFilter == nil then
		mouse.TargetFilter = workspace.Plots
	else
		mouse.TargetFilter = nil
	end
end)

Hope these references are enough for anyone to come up with a conclusive answer to this problem.
I’m not the best programmer so I am still learning the quirks and kinks as we speak.

Thanks!
